<div dir="ltr">Looks like all the alternatives proposed so far do a poor job of mapping and most are totally useless for mapping coverage in an office or home which was the focus for the Windows application originally named. Maybe there is more than one use for Windows after all :)<br>

I've been working on a wireless project for months, and looked around for things oss like heatmapping, rtls function, etc, and there's nothing too well baked to use production-wise aside from some half-baked, minimally existing projects on sourceforge.<br>
<br>
Seems commercial software like Aruba Airwave, Cisco WLS/Prime, Ekahau, etc have the lock on things from that perspective.<span><font color="#888888"><br>

I ran across this article:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/165614/how-to-create-a-wi-fi-heatmap-for-network-analysis-better-coverage-and-geek-cred-galore/" target="_blank">http://www.howtogeek.com/<u></u>165614/how-to-create-a-wi-fi-<u></u>heatmap-for-network-analysis-<u></u>better-coverage-and-geek-cred-<u></u>galore/</a><br>
<br>
which shows doing a very nifty wifi map of your space. Unfortunately it<br>
uses a windows only program from Ekahau called HeatMap. I did a little<br>
web searching for a Linux equivalent program but have not found anything<br>
that included the mapping function. Does anyone know of one?<br>
